Investors poured a record amount of cash into U.S. corporate investment-grade bond funds this week, shrugging off geopolitical concerns.
The influx of $8.19 billion for the weekly period ended Jan. 8 reverses outflows seen in the previous week, according to data compiled by Refinitiv Lipper. The inflow handily beats the previous record of $6.9 billion investors added in the week ended Oct. 8, 2014, in data going back to 1992.
